Hmm I would have preferred the Male lead comforting the kid instead of Elsa. That would have taken the plot and his character development to a more positive direction.

I think it’s more showing that Elsa has powers, and even thought they aren’t big or flashy, they are necessary to her family. Also based on the expressions of the ML, stopping Hugh’s magic by forced would have caused severe damage. I believe Elsa was the best choice because if Hugh had hurt ML, his entire personality would shift from guilt and regret.
Ml is being an idiot right now but it's sooooo difficult to get angry at lol. That backstory of his was heartbreaking. I can't wait for her to look at him as more than just a character in a book.
Also if there is this whole cliche running away arc after 3 years of marriage, I will be seriously pissed iff
